All Things Class of 2015 Recruiting - Class Finally Complete? Nope Chris Obekpa visit

Donate To GopherHole
As I mentioned before on here...Wally to Texas Tech is VERY logical. Tubby had no problem with Wally doing track as well. Texas Tech is a top 10 in the nation program right now.
 


I can't think of a program that would do less for his offensive development but it is his choice. good luck to him.

Doesn't matter. He can still dunk at Tech. Doesn't need to develop.
 


No more Wally in this thread. Thanks.

Per Matt Gravett: Akolda Manyang tore his MCL recently, but has gotten offers from Minnesota, Arizona State, and Oklahoma. He has also gotten strong interest from Kansas.
 

Maybe this injury will cool interest by the blue bloods.

Guessing ASU will be a tough beat since that's where his JUCO coach is heading, guessing he's a back up plan at Kansas

I really like Jimmy Whitt. Saw him play a few games when he played in one of Pulley's tournaments. Good athlete and would fit our style really well.
 

What are the feelings about our chances with Illikainen? Better than 50%?
 

Pulley beats Team Texas Elite 63-41.

Notables:

Alex Illikainen-12pts 2rbs in 9 minutes
Jarvis Johnson-8pts 2ast in 17 minutes
Sacar Anim-11pts 4ast in 24 minutes
Amir Coffey-5pts 2ast in 18 minutes
Sam Neumann-6pts 11rbs 3ast in 23 minutes
Brock Bertram-9pts 5rbs in 13 minutes
 

Alonzo Trier is retweeting Gopher fans on twitter now after his game. Never bad to have Minnesota planted in his ear!

Is this the only weekend Gopher coaches can watch until July? Or have the rules changed?

I would love nothing more than to get Trier. Best PG in the class 23rd best in the nation. Also even though stars or grades don't matter he is a 5-star player with a 91 grade on ESPN.

Maryland, Kansas State, and Virginia Tech (pre-Buzz) have extended offers to Clarke.

He's retweeted every Minnesota fan and media member who's mentioned him on twitter! If you tweet him he'll retweet it. It's kind of fun to follow. :)

Ok, twitter aside though, it seems as though there is legitimate interest from both parties.
 

Isn't New Heights Kimani's old program?
